The marble columns are made of stone offal / Also new: “Sesto“ tables in hexagonal shape
Bufalini company sent us a press release about designer Paolo Ulian’s latest works:
“Altari“ is a functional artwork celebrating the intrinsic value of food thanks to presenting fruits on marble cylinders of different types and sizes. Each element is designed to support one fruit, thereby transforming the simple gesture of displaying food into a ritual of sacrality and veneration.
The origin of the marble cylinders is also significant: Bufalini uses residual elements left over from the core drilling processes in the production of washbasins, marble vases, and other objects. A solution which not only confers a unique character to each component of Altari but also underlines the need to reconsider the value of everyday objects and of the material.

“Sesto“ tables in hexagonal shape
The “Sesto“ collection comprises a dining table and a set of coffee tables defined by a hexagonal shape. Made from 2 cm thin marble slabs, the project is characterized by a symbiotic relationship between the various production phases and guarantees the recycling of what is mostly waste.
The coffee tables are made from the leftover elements generated by the production of the dining table legs, thus enabling the production of the complete series without residual waste. Moreover, the possibility to combine different types of marble offers the freedom to create unique and customized projects within each production batch.
Not only does Sesto stand out for the uniqueness of its design, but its hexagonal shape also enables multiple coffee tables to be positioned side by side to create a larger flat rest surface of greater complexity and versatility.
